Blood and reticulocyte staining solution (New Methylene Blue) are mixed and incubated briefly at room temperature. Wedge or spun smears are made on microscope slides, air dried and evaluated under oil immersion on a light microscope. A red blood cell scoring positive would be observed containing two or more blue-stained granules.
